“Jora.” Liam whispered.
My eyes slowly opened and he was laying next to me.
“Hmm.” I moaned.
“John called. We have to catch the jet at noon to Germany.”
It was still raining outside and I stretched. I turned my head and looked at the clock. It was almost ten. I shot up out of bed.
“Crap. Okay. Pack up as much as you can.” I said.
I hopped in the shower and got out as fast as I could. Liam was already dressed and packed half his suitcase. I came out with a towel wrapped around me and got my clothes to change into.
“Uhmm…” Liam mumbled.
“I don’t care at the moment. It’ll take forever to get to the jet.”
He laughed and kept packing. After getting dressed, we packed the rest of our suitcase. Sadly, we had to leave our weapons. John would supply more when we got to the hotel. A whole lot more.
“Come on, Jora! John’s got us a taxi!” Liam yelled from the front door.
I patted the rest of my makeup on my cheeks and packed my makeup up. If I forget it all, I’ll die.

“What terminal is it? Gosh, I’m getting mad.”
“I feel naked without my knife.” I said.
“Now’s not the time to cry about your knife. We go-“
“Liam…do you really think John will tell the pilot to fly off without us on our own jet?”
He kept walking really fast.
“No but I want to be there on time.”
I huffed and tried to keep up with his long legs. Passing many departure areas, I looked ahead to see John hiding himself behind a newspaper. I pulled Liam towards him and we slowed down, walking straight into the tunnel. John followed.
“It’s about time.” John said.
“Well, if you plan on calling three hours ahead before a flight and you have a woman, don’t expect us to be on time.” Liam spat.
I turned around to John and rolled my eyes. We made it outside and climbed into the jet. I threw my purse in the above compartment and sat down.
“Could your jeans get any tighter?” John asked, sitting across from me.
All I did was smile. Liam pouted and sat down. High maintenace.
“Take-off in two. Fasten your seatbelts please.”
As I buckled, I breathed a sigh. Germany. A whole different country, different language and culture. I don’t know German. Great. The plane sat back and got off the ground. Only two hours left.
“So why are we headed to Germany?” Liam asked.
John sipped on some tea and cleared his throat.
“You two will be doing undercover work. Zacko didn’t live in London. His whole company is in Berlin. So, we sent in another member but unfortunately, her cover was blown and we need you two in there.”
“Details?” I pulled out my phone to take notes.
“She’s five seven, green eyes, bleach blonde hair. Her name’s Sydney. We have another member from France meeting you two in Berlin. He’ll meet with you sometime but he hasn’t revealed when.”
I nodded and Liam spoke up.
“So you want us to go in and grab Sydney with another member?”
“Yes. Jora and him will spy longer on Zacko and hunt him down. You’ll take Sydney back to the hotel and clean her up. I’m sure she’ll have drugs in her system…”
It got silent in the plane. A flight attendant brought us late breakfast, lunch. As I finished, I reached for my knife. Gone.
“Oh, yeah. Any new weapons? There better be…” I smiled.
“I have your new knife but everything else is in the hotel room.”
He tossed it to me. I inspected it. New blade and everything. Firm grip and could slice a watermelon in seconds. I played with it for a bit and he turned to Liam.
“Your surprise is in the room, don’t worry.”
Liam smiled and sat back, eating the rest of his lunch. The thought of last night popped in my head. I’ve gotta practice more on moving faster, be agile.
“How’s it feel to be back in the field?” John asked.
“I’m excited.” I smiled.
